GIS Resources is pleased to announce the release of its 4th edition (December 2020) of the print and digital magazine. The edition titled “Geospatial Technologies in Fire Protection Infrastructure Development” focuses on the role of geospatial technologies in the development of fire protection infrastructure development.

Fire can be both a boon and a bane. As a boon, it is vital in supporting life. It is a bane when, out of control, it destroys life and property. More often than not, we hear about the adverse effects of fire. It is more in the news because of an electrical short circuit, leading to loss of life and livelihood. Climate change is also taking its toll in the form of huge forest fires, leading to loss of life and livelihood as well as the loss of vital habitat for flora and fauna.

Geospatial Technology can provide vital data and information to prevent and mitigate incidences of fire. Creating the necessary infrastructure, training and ensuring its widespread adoption will make it more effective.

This quarterly issue attempts to give balanced information on how geospatial technologies are used in various domains of life for fire protection.
